Relay for Life

The kids ran the Relay for Life in Juno Beach. It was a 4x1 relay meaning teams of 4, each person runs 1 mile. Lily ran with Coral, Kelly and Jen as the "Candy Cane Girls" and they all had great times! Marshall and Colton ran the kids 1 mile fun race. A fun morning for a good cause!

Palm Beach Marathon Festival 2010

The Palm Beach 1/2 marathon was this weekend! My goal was to finish in 2:30 and my time was 2:30:55. No complaints here, I'll live with the 55 second overage... it was still 23 minutes faster than my last 1/2 marathon! The weather was BEAUTIFUL, high 40's and sunny. Erica and Lauren ran too, congrats to them! Jay and the kids were there braving the cold temps to cheer me on... signs and all! Thanks to Coach Bob for all of the Sunday morning pep talks!

The LEACh 2010

The LEACh (Loxahatchee Eco Adventure Challenge) is an 8 hour adventure race through Jonathan Dickenson State Park on an unmarked course. You compete as a team and are involved in canoeing, trekking, biking, navigation, obstacles and problem solving. Jay and Brent were team "Last to Register" (they really were the last to register) and Erica and Steve were team "Off the Grid". Both teams finished within the allotted time! "Last to Register" finished 14 out of 23 overall; "Off the Grid" 15 out of 23 AND 3 out of 4 for the co-ed division earning them a medal! It was a LONG day, but everyone was happy at the end. The cheering section included: Sara, Lily, Marshall, Randy, Martha and Noelle!

1k run and bike time trial

Busy weekend! Saturday Lily ran the NPB Ghost run 1k with her running club from school. She came in 4th for the girls. On Sunday she did a bike time trial (out in the middle of the sugar cane fields!) It was a 15k bike and she finished in 37 min. Not her best time, but big kuddos for going out there! Picture is from the bike time trial.

Publix Duathlon

Jay and Lily competed in the Publix Family Fitness Duathlon this morning and WON!! They came in first place in the relay category and 43rd out of 121 overall!! Way to go Killer Millers relay team! They got to stand on the podium to receive their awards and Lily was interviewed for the Stuart News which she thought was pretty cool.

Sunday morning training run

I had a great 9 mile training run with Erica today! She is an awesome running partner, thankful for her friendship and encouragement to keep going (and her ability to get my rear out of bed every Sunday morning at 5am)! Looking forward to the PB 1/2 marathon!

Publix Family Fitness 1 mile race

The kids ran a 1 mile race at the Publix Family Fitness event in Tradition. Lily came in 3rd overall with a time of 7:23 and Marshall ran an 8:40, not sure of his placing but he definitely creamed the other 6-7 year olds and a lot of "big kids" too! We didn't know about the event until today and decided to head up there at the last minute. We ended up running into 2 other kids from the Jaguars club and they came in 4 and 5 overall! A great representation for the club and fun too! Also a last minute registration, Lily and Jay are doing the Publix duathlon as a relay tomorrow morning. Gook luck "Killer Miller" relay team!

2010 Iron Kids Nationals

We had so much fun at Iron Kids Nationals St Petersburg! There were 8 Jaguar club members participating and they all got to meet kids from other tri clubs around the country. It was very cool! Lily came in 26 out 0f 34 in her category, and had quite an eventful bike portion of the race. Her bike chain was off when she tried to start the bike leg of the race. We realized later from watching the video that when she came into transition after her swim, the bike was racked differently and the chain was off. We are guessing it got knocked off the rack by another person and when it fell the chain came off, they must have picked it up and put it back on the rack not realizing it was broken. Thankfully Jay was nearby to help get the chain back on, but it cost a bit of time! She didn't panic and we are so proud of her! Congrats to all Jaguars!!

Lily headed to St. Pete

Lily is going to Ironkids nationals in St. Petersburg!

Loggerhead Triathlon 2010

I just finished the 2010 Loggerhead Triathlon! My time was 1:45:15, 8 minutes 36 seconds faster than last year!! Overall I was 424 out of 600 and 14 out of 17 in my category. Can't wait for the next one!

North Palm Beach Kids Triathlon 2010

The North Palm Beach Kids Triathlon was a big success!!! Jaguar club rocked! Lily placed 3rd out of 26 (which earned her a trophy)! And Marshall placed 8 out of 20 (which was really impressive as he raced against kids up to age 8!) It was beautiful, not too hot....a super day!

Fit Kids 2010

Fit Kids at Gaines Park in WPB was great this year. The remodeling was finished and the facility looks great! Lily had an awesome race and came in 3rd out of 20 in her category. Yay Lily!!! Marshall (who is 6 and now races in the 7-8) came in 19 out of 31. Whoo hoo Marshall!!! Congrats to all of the Jaguars, it was a super day!

Shamrock 5K

Today was the Shamrock 5k and Little Leprechaun race at John Prince Park in Lake Worth. Lily and her friends Coral, Jennifer and Kelly ran the 5k race and everyone placed in their categories and took home a plaque! Way to go girls! Marshall and his friend Colton ran in the Little Leprechaun race and got medals for finishing! Yay boys!!

Thrill On Shark Hill 2010

On Sunday March 7th Lily and Marshall completed the Thrill on Shark Hill Duathlon in Lake Worth. It was originally going to be a triathlon, but there was a problem with the pool so it was changed to a duathlon (run, bike, run). Lily got to use her new road bike and she handled it really well! This event was not timed, but both kids did a really great job! It was a nice first race of the season for all of the kids in the Jaguar Tri Club!

Lily got a race bike!

Lily got a new bike!! Tomorrow is Lily's 10th birthday and we surprised her one day early with a brand new Fugi road bike! She was so excited...(we were too!) We bought it from Rudy at Real Deal Bicycles in Jupiter. She was able to ride it around the parking lot behind the shop and she will get a chance to really break it in on Thursday afternoon at Jaguar bike practice. The kids are doing a duathlon this weekend so she will get to race with it right away! Yay for Lily!

1st Annual Lake Park 5k

Jay and the kids ran the 1st annual Lake Park "Send A Kid To Summer Camp" 5k race. Despite the chilly morning, everyone did really well! Lily placed first in the girls 9 and under category with a time of 30:20. Marshall placed second in the boys 9 and under category with a time of 33:02. Jay ran with Marshall and still came in second in the male 30-39 category. There were over 40 runners including an 86 year old man (the kids thought that was cool) Nana and Pop were there to cheer them on!

Lily, The Rockstar!

Yesterday on a training run with Jay, Lily ran a 7:30 mile!! Amazing! We are so proud of her!
